Support for Employers

Supporting staff with their mental health can be stressful and overwhelming at times. We offer a range of services to assist managers/team leads to effectively support their employees to remain in or return to work.

Consultation

Dedicated 1:1 sessions with line managers or employers who are having difficulties supporting a particular individual or team with their mental wellbeing.

These sessions aim to:

Provide support to line managers/team leads
Allow a safe reflective space to problem-solve and identify solutions
Discuss specific cases in confidence
Action planning

Recommended for workplaces who have high sickness absence or specific employees who are causing concern for their safety and or others.

Training

Includes a variety of online learning and interactive workshops focusing on a range of topics such as:

Mental Health Awareness
How to support others with their mental health
How to enhance your own health and well-being
How to respond in a mental health crisis - when someone expresses suicidal thoughts or engages in harmful behaviours
How to enhance motivation

Recommended for all workplaces who are invested in improving the mental health and well-being of their employees. Mental health awareness and training initiatives have been shown to positively impact on employee well-being and help them to feel more confident in their role when supporting others.

Workplace Audit

Includes:

Comprehensive workplace audit in relation to the “Thriving at Work Mental Health Core Standards” & HSE recommended risk assessment
SBAR report with recommendations to support a mentally healthy workplace

NICE (2009) recommends a strategic and co-ordinated approach to implementing wellbeing initiatives in the workplace. Through workplace audit and action-planning we can support you to achieve your legal obligations as an employer (Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974; Equality Act 2010).

Additional consultation to support the implementation of the action plan can be arranged if required.
